What a shock for Snape that must have been! I'm surprised that he reacted so calmly, but perhaps we'll get Harry's POV and see what was going on in his eyes, underneith his defences?
Really good chapter, I really did like how Snape's train of thought led him to a "everything has its purpose." Hopefully he's able to work out a way to be Harry's dad while maintaining his cover as spy for Voldermort and Dumbledore. Or if he can't, that he explains it to Harry better so that he understands that it's not him (Harry) but rather Snape's own limits that are preventing them from being a family.
Maybe something will happen over the Winter Hols? Perhaps a little family reunion between Father and Son?
Can't wait for the next chapter!! Update soon!
This was a powerful chapter. You depicted the pain that Snape is in exceedingly well, as well as the earlier chapters showed Harry's pain. I hope there is some resolution for both of them soon and that Snape doesn't have to stay on the path he's been on for so long. Dumbledore is great for telling Snape to do something, such as reach out to Harry, without giving any means for achieving it in light of his other demands on the man. It was also great to see Harry take the plunge...I just really hope it works for him and there is some positive result from this for both of them.

Poor Harry keeps getting denied by Snape. I wonder if he ran off to the Astronomy Tower again. Hope you can update again soon!
